This Is Not That Kind of Book (Christopher Healy)


This story made us laugh and laugh and laugh. It ends fabulously. It has fairy tales, robots, pirates, animal characters, talking food, a detective and letters for an alphabet book. It is a great book to read and laugh about especially when children have a good understanding of genre. Brilliantly written!

Goodreads says:

This is a book that answers all the kids who have ever posed the question What kind of book is it?

This clever alphabet book... Wait, that's not right. This original fairy tale... Nope. Mystery? Joke book? Superhero story? Pirate adventure? This delightful mash-up features every kind of character found in the picture-book universe--all in one book. Just when the reader is convinced the story is going in one direction, it spins off in another.

Ever-changing illustrations keep pace with the rapid reversals, and the setting shifts with nearly every turn of the page. Truly inventive, here's a picture book that can be anything you want it to be!
